Hey all,
As we are drawing closer to the release (excited!!) I feel a post of how to go about your first day on Noobstown is in order and also to clear up some confusion about how money will be generated in the economy. As in all Noobstown versions, we've always had a
server shop system that allowed 'Junky' type trades to be sold and bought for a base price and this tradition will continue in v6. However, we will not be allowing purchasing of items through this system, we specifically wish to avoid spawning items through this mechanic, as it simply creates false units and reduces the amount of player trading/demand to that item. The Global shop/Server shop as you may know it will be used to sell goods, which will give you a basic amount of cash to play with and start moving it around between players via player trading. The Auction system will be driven 100% by player based trades, and this will be where your money can be used to buy goods from other players, almost every single item can be sold on the Auction, including personalized books.. you could be the next big author!
Alternatively to our auction system we will continue the tradition of
Chest based shops, with the removal of the in-spawn Market (Replaced with auction system) the chest shop system should only be used for local trading, as trading via this method is very limited at trading across a wide audience. Auction listings on the other hand will be listed on the main auction page, which every single member can see, buy straight out or bid on if you have opted to allow bids. The auction system can be used in-game or out, this means you don't even have to login to earn money, you can become a master of the auction offline the server and collect your goods when they are ready in-game at a later date, its really that versatile! The new system offers all players a fantastic platform for trading on Noobstown and we are so proud to finally release the system publicly on the 7th.
Killing monsters! We've brought a whole new mechanic over to Noobstown and that is a fully functioning bounty style system for hostile mobs. Killing mobs to earn money is an awesome incentive to get out into the dangers of the wild, for every kill you will gain a small monetary bonus! ~

Important InformationEarning & Prices
As you may or may not be aware the prices have been upscaled since version 5, this means that there is a lot more room for prices to go up and down without crashing completely. In the announcement of our town prices we originally stated they would start at 85k in Version 6, since then we have decided to upscale the economy by x10 this means the price for a town will start at 850k..
don't worry! I know what you are thinking, how the heck am I going to make that much!? - All of the sale and reward prices will be upscaled too, you won't notice the different between the length of making from 0-85k to the length of 0-850k. Literally the only change is the size of the number, this avoids items dropping into small digits. (Example: V5 price of dirt being 0.5)
